Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
To be fair, I wouldn’t consider Type 1493 to be a bad radar, if we’re talking about the J-11B. It’s an all-aspect improvement on the Type 1492 and common figures is > 150km search range against targets of 3-5 meters squared RCS, and engage six targets at the same time with PL-12.
“其雷达反射面积从Su-27的15平方米降低到大约5平方米” - Radar cross-section was reduced from 15 square meters to 5 square meters on the J-11B.

I still wouldn’t say that the J-11B would win, but it’s probably much closer.
J-11BG is an entirely different story though.
With this being the Russian Flanker thread, I won’t continue this topic further in here.

Hey guys, I recently started researching the Russian tech tree. Which of the missing lines would you recommend I focus on, considering a potential future addition of the Su-30?
Well, it probably will come after 27SM,.so you already covered in this regard

I see, thanks for the heads up :D
Kh-38ML and Kh-38MT missing GNSS guidance

Now that it’s been a bit since the FMs have been changed, how does the Su-27S compare to the SM flight performance wise?
I always just kinda assumed the SM was just better, but I did hear somewhere that it was also a bit heavier, so I’m unsure.

It’s almost the same, the difference is negligible i’d say. The SM is indeed heavier but it has upgraded engines which makes up for the weight increase.
Except for SU34, is there any Sukhoi products that can carry KH38 with a TVD leaser pod? I only know SU35 might have that, but not sure if any SU30 has.
Only Su-34, 35 and 57. I dont have any informations about 30.
The Su-27SM is worlds better than the Su-27S
It outperforms all American aircraft and most aircraft except Rafale and Eurofighter based on pure flight performance!
Nope it doesn’t especially not the f15a and f16a
Skill issue, and sounds like metagaming.
Sorry, I am speaking about Simulator where these aircraft don’t meet the Su27sm so my point stands!
Also do excuse me, I did not mean to come off rude.
What? Does the 13.0 - 14.0 bracket not exist?
Would anybody with brain take F-15A, when only thing it better over 15C/E - dogfight capability?

Yes? Because maybe they don’t have the C/E yet?..
It’s not like this game isn’t about unlocking stuff and why would anyone every fly a 13.0BR plane when 14.0BR is the max? Are they stupid? :D
In Sim people usually fly things they like but some people still also grind, and I would 100% fly the F-15A when I am going for the C. So I already learn the basics of the airframe.

Welp. Theyre getting almost unplayable plane in BVR, if they take 15A to such BR
And still, sont think that it must be discussed here

I found it on discord server. It looks like L-005 Sorbtsiya.

Several ECM pods for different aircrafts are presented in files for several years, sometimes bots in hangar equip them.

Don’t think I’ve seen one in years, sim or RB. Just feels like ARH carriers (good ones) should still be higher, especially in sim.
